Intended Use
PowerPort™ devices are totally implanted vascular access devices designed to provide long-term, repeated access to the vascular system.
Device Story
Totally implanted vascular access device; consists of plastic port and 9.6 Fr silicone catheter; attached via cathlock compression fitting. Distinguishable by triangular body, purple coloring, and three palpation bumps on septum. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals for long-term, repeated vascular access. Routine access via non-coring needle; power injection requires use of Bard PowerLoc™ safety infusion set. Enables infusion of medications, fluids, nutrition, blood products, and blood sampling. Power injection capability allows contrast media delivery for imaging procedures. Benefits patient by providing reliable, repeated access while minimizing need for frequent venipuncture.

Bench testing only. Design verification testing performed per FDA guidance and recognized international standards. Risk management conducted via FMEA per ISO 14971:2000. No new safety or efficacy questions identified.
Technological Characteristics
Plastic port with 9.6 Fr silicone catheter; cathlock compression fitting. Triangular body, purple color, three septum palpation bumps. Designed for power injection (max 5 ml/s) when used with PowerLoc™ safety infusion set. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring repeated vascular access for infusion of medication, I.V. fluids, parenteral nutrition, blood products, and blood withdrawal. When used with a PowerLoc™ safety infusion set, indicated for power injection of contrast media at a maximum rate of 5 ml/s.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A subcutaneous, implanted, intravascular infusion port and catheter is a device that consists of a subcutaneous, implanted reservoir that connects to a long-term intravascular catheter. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for the infusion of fluids and medications and the sampling of blood. The device consists of a portal body with a resealable septum and outlet made of metal, plastic, or combination of these materials and a long-term intravascular catheter is either preattached to the port or attached to the port at the time of device placement. The device is available in various profiles and sizes and can be of a single or multiple lumen design.

| Device<br>Description | The subject MRI PowerPort™ device with 9.6 Fr silicone catheter is a<br>member of the PowerPort™ series of power injectable implanted ports. The<br>subject device consists of a plastic port and silicone catheter that is attached<br>to the port with a cathlock compression fitting. The subject device is<br>distinguishable as a member of BAS's power injectable port series by the<br>triangular body shape, unique purple coloring, and three palpation bumps on<br>the septum.<br>PowerPort™ implanted ports can be used for routine vascular access using a<br>non-coring access needle. However, for power injection procedures,<br>PowerPort™ ports must be accessed with a Bard PowerLoc™ safety infusion<br>set to create a power injectable system. | |
| Technological<br>Characteristics | Technological characteristics of the subject MRI PowerPort™ device with 9.6<br>Fr silicone catheter are equivalent to those of the Bard Access Systems<br>predicate MRI PowerPort™ device [K063377]. This equivalence extends to<br>port's basic design, generic materials, and construction. The distinguishing<br>difference exists in the size and material of the subject catheter. | |
| Safety &<br>Performance<br>Tests | No performance standards have been established under Section 514 of the<br>Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for this device. However, design verification<br>testing was performed according to protocols based on the<br>recommendations/requirements of applicable FDA guidance and FDA<br>recognized international standards. Verification testing, determined to be<br>applicable to the safety and efficacy of the device, was shown to meet<br>predetermined acceptance criteria listed therein.<br>Risk management, including a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), of<br>the subject device was conducted in accordance with an internal protocol<br>based on ISO 14971:2000, Medical Devices - Risk Management for Medical<br>Devices. The analysis did not identify any new types of safety or efficacy<br>questions for the subject MRI PowerPort™ device with 9.6 Fr silicone<br>catheter. | |
| Summary of<br>Substantial<br>Equivalence | Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and safety and<br>performance testing, the subject MRI PowerPort™ device with 9.6 Fr silicone<br>catheter meets the minimum requirements that are considered adequate for<br>its intended use and is substantially equivalent in design, materials,<br>sterilization, principles of operation and indications for use to current<br>commercially available implanted ports cited as predicates. | |

Dear Ms. Scott:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
